To all whom it ma/y concerns Beit known4- that II, MANUEL WITMER, of Cedar Rapids, in the county-of Linnland State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful VImprovement in Chur'ns;`

and -IA `do hereby declare that the following isa full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to makeandnse' the same, rei?- erence being had to the accompanying drawings forming partofl this specification. v

This invention relates to improvements in A churns, whereby itis designed to provide animproved arrangement of' vibrating and swinging cliurn'si, a's will be'moie fully described on reference to the-accompanying drawing, wherein a sectional elevation of achurn constructed according to my improvement is represented. f

A represents the vessel for holding the cream, yof rectangular form onrallV sides,'excep.t the bottom, which is an obtuse angle, the vertex of which is at the centre, in ythe direction of the greatest length of the vessel, and projecting inwardly, 'and serving the .double purpose ,of facilitating the balancing lof the vessel on its support'B, and more thoroughly agitating the cream as thevessel is vibrated in the process of churning.

' The support Bis suspended 'between two arms O, suspended by the links D from the top of the.' framing E, and projecting downward below thesaid support B;

1 The said projecting ends are provided with stud-pins F, taking into vertical slotsG, in the framing E;

, The sides of the vessel aregprovided with dovetail grooves', either made in the surface of the wood, or otherl substancekof which the vessel is composed, or by cleats H, fastened upon the sides, and the upper ends of the larms@ are fitted to slide into these grooves when the vessel is placed ons-its support B,y and maintain it thereon, in a manner to be readily detached. I represents handles for 4operating the vessel A.

i This arrangement provides an easymethod of s wingl vingthe vessel-at the same time that it is vibrated, giv-v V,ing a 'moreintense agitation to the cream thancan be obtained from either motion alone,'and the agitation is further intensified by the-form of the bottom of the l churn, as will be readily understood.

Having thus described my invention7 1 clairn' as new, and desire` to secure by Letters Patent- 4 y "The combination of the vessel A with its support 'B, arms O, luks D, and framing E, all substantially as and for thepurpose specified. I
